Abstract：Impacted maxillary anterior teeth,primarily involving maxillary canines and central incisors,represent a com-mon eruption disorder that significantly affects patients' oral function and aesthetic appearance.The combined approach of surgical exposure with orthodontic traction is a widely used clinical treatment,and the factors influencing its clinical effectiveness remain a key concern for orthodontists.This review systematically discusses the factors influencing orth-odontic traction efficacy for impacted maxillary anterior teeth,focusing on patient age and gender,root morphology and developmental characteristics,position of impacted teeth,and periodontal lesions,aiming to provide references for clini-cal diagnosis and treatment of impacted maxillary anterior teeth and assist orthodontists to better identify potential risks during traction therapy in order to achieve optimized treatment outcomes.
